s that secretary hagel announced the united states would deploy this past march. this amendment if it were adopted, and perhaps this is unintentional but it would cost the united states as much as $200 million. perhaps the gentleman is opposed to the oobama administration's missile defense policy as articulated by secretary of defense hagel. if so, that's a separate issue. but when you look at north korea, you look at iran, i think it would be unwise to oppose the decision to add ground based interceptors. all that this amendment is doing is raising the price that taxpayers have to pay for the g.b.i.'s, that the president and sec retear of defense have said we should buy. this isn't just my position. it's what the missile defense agency and the c.b.o. have already said. multiyear procurement will save the taxpayer money. now the reliability issues that the gentleman brought vup nothing to do with this funding. because this funding talks about booster motors. of the 26 tests that involve the g.m.d. system, ground based missile defense, 18 of those were 100% success

chuck hagel to head up the funds and j-- head up defense and jack lew as secretary of state. >> i think chuck this is the steepest climb to his nomination. even before it was officially announced, a lot of members on both sides coming out. there were so many republican members, and he is a former senator republican member from nebraska. even members of his own party coming out in opposition. i think he will face a tough time. jack lew i think will also be of the cross hairs. he was sort of the president's point man when it came to the fiscal issues on capitol hill. we have seen through the spending fights that jack lew was the guy to rankle the different positions and bring everyone to some type of agreement and avert disaster. what is funny is the same goodwill he was able to build up through a lot of the past spending fight seems to be gone and a lot of his defenders on the other side of the aisle are coming out against him. yes, there is a lot of talk of a fresh start, but both sides are very much in campaign mode. that was something i thought was striking about what the president sa
